KMT-2021-BLG-0748L b: A Microlensing Planet in the Galactic Bulge

KMT-2021-BLG-0748L is a star located 19900 light-years from Earth, with a reported mass estimate of 0.36 solar masses. That estimate is smaller than the Sun's mass. One planet is known to orbit this host.

The planet, KMT-2021-BLG-0748L b, was discovered in 2022 by microlensing, a technique that detects a planet through the brief brightening it causes when it and its host star pass in front of a more distant background star. Its reported mass estimate is 143 Earth masses, which is larger than Earth's mass. No orbital period is reported for KMT-2021-BLG-0748L b, so its year remains undetermined.
